areo wiper blade conversion HELP!
« on: 15 July 2009, 01:10 »
Hi all, a quick question when putting these flat wiper type blades on a mk3 do you have to change the wiper arms? or do you just buy flat blades that have been adapted to fit a golf mk3?  thanx  :cool:

No you can't retro fit the mk4 blades. You can pick up an aero kit from vw or the bay :)

The genuine VW ones take about 5mins to fit, they are easy.

I would say do yourself a favour and go Europarts and buy the Bosch retrofit.  Ok, its going to set you back £18 but they are a straight fit, and by far superior to any other wiper I have tried.

I found the cheap aero wipers on my mates mk2 golf to be absolutely awful...
